...is exactly what there was not! When I blogged for the first time on 14 May 2006, I would never have imagined that I would still be blogging (on several different blogs!) five years later. In fact, I doubted I'd make it to the end of a week!
But here we are 1,317 posts and 33,9895 hits later and it is time to say a big thank you to everyone who follows or reads this blog, leaves comments, enters competitions and sends photos and ideas of things to blog about. Without you, I'd have never lasted five months let along five years!
Here's to the next half decade!
HAPPY BLOGDAY!
Brian,
ReplyDeleteHappy 5th Blogday!
Having quit my blog last Monday, a couple of months shy of its fifth anniversary, I can only offer my congratulations for getting this far and having the stamina to carry off.
I look forward to the next five and beyond.
Brian, dear.....I am impressed........5 years....what an accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteCongrats....and, if you'll pardon my saying so.....MORE!

How about that? Happy 5th Blogday, Brian. Keep them coming. ;-)
Wow! Congratulations. It seems like only yesterday we were talking about the "advantages" of blogging. Where did 5 years go?
ReplyDeleteWow five years! That's some achievement Brian, I don't think many have lasted that long. Here's to the next five years - keep blogging as this is one of the few interesting things to read on the internet! :D
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns on a great blog . Brian, with many more to come i hope
ReplyDeleteThanks, folks!
ReplyDeleteGood Dog – I'm very sorry that you're stopping blogging, but (as James Bond said before Justin Bieber) never say never again!
Ian – Back then, I was on the right side of 60 and you on the right side of 50! It was your birthday gift to me (on your birthday!) back in 2006 to nudge me into starting a blog. So we owe it all to YOU and it was great, last night, to be able to celebrate your latest birthday! Very many happy returns!
Happy Blogday, Brian! Or should that be 'slogday' which is what I sometimes think mine becomes - even though I wouldn't be without it!
ReplyDeleteCongrats my friend! I found your blog quite randomly about two years ago and recognized your name from the LOTR appendices disks and have faithfully followed since. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteWow! Congratulations Brian. A fantastic accomplishment. Looking forward to many more years.

ReplyDeleteWelcome home, Sharon, how was the trek?
The Trek was wonderful. The weather in Latvia and Lithuania, which hadn't been good until the morning of our arrival, was beautiful until our last day or so and the trek was really interesting.
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm back in dreich Glasgow, nursing repaired feet and madly itching bites.
Hope you are both well.
How blogging fantastic that you're still at it five years on. Keep up the good work, and happy blogday!
